The Lightning uses a dual-motor setup with an electric motor at each axle, and the extended-range battery on my tester had a 131-kWh lithium-ion battery. One benefit of ditching internal combustion is that you free up the front area to be a “frunk” – and this becomes appreciated when hauling groceries or luggage.
